[MLB TR] Cubs Acquire Andrew Kittredge

  1. Do you have this on autopost or something? How’d you get this so fast.

  2. Michael Cerami is on a roll tonight.

    He clearly has an in…made both the calls on Soroka and Kittredge an hour or so before they were announced

  3. 3.45 era in 31 innings. A strike out per inning. Given up 4 hr and 12 runs. Right handed. Have no idea what his stuff is

  4. No facts here from me, but i feel like he’s been a really solid pen guy for the last two years.

  5. If there’s one thing Jed loves more than his family, it’s 35-year-old relievers on rental deals.

  6. Finally we getting the help we need lets hope they start to fit in in 2 weeks time

  7. He has a team option for 2026, this may cost more than we are comfortable with.

  8. Jed is definitely building a three layer approach for the playoffs:

    First five innings: Shota, Boyd, Taillon, whoever they get tomorrow
    Next three innings: Horton, Rea, Assad, Soroka
    Final innings: Palencia, Kittredge, Keller
    Lefties: Thielbar, Pomerantz

    Injury replacements: Brown, Little, maybe even Almonte

    Quick hooks for any starter who struggles the second time through the lineup.

  9. Solid add

    If we get another starter, jamo comes back healthy and we move Rea to the pen we are looking solid.

  10. Do you think he still flies with the team to Chicago? Or does he get kicked off that flight?

  11. This helps shorten games. Cubs need lots of help in the pen. Flexen gone, Brown likely back to Iowa, Kriske and Hollowell aren’t likely here long haul. Pressly is potentially cooked and the Pomeranz thing has felt dicey for a while. I would expect at least two more bullpen additions today but this is a solid, reliable, experienced arm. Now go get Robert Suarez after SD empties their farm for Mason Miller.
